Clara looked at the princess with a smug smile on her face. "You must be feeling pretty foolish right about now," she said, her tone mocking. "After all, you thought you had everything figured out, but it turns out you were wrong. And now you're stuck with a boyfriend who's two-timing you with not one, but two other women."The princess felt her cheeks flush with anger and embarrassment. She couldn't believe that she had been so wrong, and she was mortified that Clara was so gleeful about it. She wanted to lash out at Clara, to tell her off and let her know exactly what she thought of her, but she knew that it would only make things worse. So instead, she took a deep breath and tried to keep her cool. "You're not the one who looks foolish here," she said, her voice steady. "You're the one who's spreading rumors and hurting people for no reason. You should be ashamed of yourself."Clara's smile faltered, and for a moment, she looked like she might actually feel a little remorse. But th
Leo was in his office, on his computer when his secretary, Isabel, came with a list of documents. The résumés of the people who applied for the position of personal assistant on business relation. "They're all here sir, all the applicants." She said. "How many are they?" He asked. "Twenty five sir." She replied. "We need the best of the best on this job." He told her. "I understand sir. " She replied. Soon, they started going through the documents and resumes. One caught his attention, Charlie Thompson. "Wow. This is impressive.. " He said as he looked at Charlie's resume. The secretary also had a look. Indeed, he was good. His CV was perfect. His school performance was perfect and his job experience was the the required standard. "Should we go with him?" He asked his secretary. "He obviously has the best yet" She replied. "But we'll have to at least see the rest before finally deciding." She added. "Right. "They looked through others and behold, no one came close to
Clara sat there, crying bitterly. She cried for hours without seizing. Leo would never do such a thing to her. She had scars on her body from the fight. She thought about showing them to her mother, but she decided not to. "He can come up with stories and make them believe." She said to herself. She had to rub gel on the wounds, so as to numb the pain and make it heal faster. Later that evening, Charlie was called and asked to resume work as the prime minister had instructed the Secretary. "Thank you very much. I will do as you have instructed." He told the secretary, who called him. He then related the information to Steve and Henry. "How was the interview." Steve asked him. "It was alright ." He answered. "They did ask some extra things though. Good thing I was really prepared." He added. "That is good, that is good." Steve said. "It's time for the actualisation of the plan." He added. "You still remember the drill, right?" Steve asked. "I do." He answered. "Mak
Henry stuck around after the royal meeting, hoping to catch princess Melissa. Soon, he saw the prince leave. The prince also saw him. “Mr. henry.” The prince greeted. “My prince. Am I not honored to see you?” he hailed the prince. “I did not see you at the meeting.” He further asked. “I was in my room all day.” The prince said. “You know I don’t do well with all those meetings.” He added. This sent Henry into mild laughter. “And you. The meeting has been over for over thirty minutes. What is still keeping you?” The prince asked Henry. “Your sister, the princess.” He confessed. “I hope at least have a glance of her before I leave for him.” He further said. “isn’t that beautiful.” The prince said, admiring Henry’s gestures. “Well, she’s at the pool side.” He told Henry. “Is she alone?” Henry asked. “Sure.” The prince replied. “I don’t think there’s anyone with her.” He added. “Thank you, my prince.” Henry said. “Have a great day.”Henry left for the poolside after his talk wit
When Melissa told him that Clara came and was begging to say something. “This could be it.” He thought to himself. “They should let her in.” He said to the secretary. “But you have a meeting in five minutes sir.” She told him. “Reschedule them all.” He ordered her. “Okay sir.” She said as she left. She wondered of what importance would this Clara have to make the prime minister, who was always choosing to forgo everything for her. She called the receptionist when she got back to her post. “Show her the way up.” Isabel told the receptionist, then hung up. Clara was anxious about what the answer would be. “You’re in luck.” The receptionist said. “The prime minister has agreed to see you.”Clara was glad that he accepted to see her. She was shown the way to the last floor and directed to the office, which she soon reached.“Good morning ma’am.” The secretary greeted. “Good morning.” Clara replied. “This way.” The secretary said, standing and opening the door into Leo’s office for
Throughout Leo’s journey home, that was what played in his head. Everything Clara said. Although he knew he always want anytime they attacked him, he wondered what they would pull off this time. What bothered him most was the bruises on her body. He didn’t have any feelings for her again whatsoever, but her current state made him worry about her. At one point, he regretted driving her out of the office that way. Maybe if he had spent a little more time with her, he would have known more about her current situation. Clara arrived home late after the meeting with Leo. Entering the house, she saw her husband, Henry. He sat on the couch with a stone cold face. She was shocked to see him. This was the first time he was back home this early ever since Leo was made the prime minister. And it had to be today. The day she went out to meet Leo. “Good afternoon my husband.” She greeted. “You came back home quite early today.” She said. “And where were you?” He asked, ignoring her greeti
He acted dumb as though he did not remember his utterances the previous day. “What was it I said yesterday that called for this early meeting?” He asked like he was ignorant.“We both know what you said yesterday.” She reminded him. “What was it you said you saw my fiancé doing?” She asked. “I am sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I do not want to be the one to spoil your beautiful love life.” He said. “Please I need the truth.” She said. “Is he cheating on me?” she asked. “Leo is and has always been a womanizer.” He said. “Sometimes, he goes with men.” He added. Melissa was in total shock and disbelief. “Leo?! My fiancé?!” She asked. “I’m sorry it had to be me. I do not want to be a home breaker.” He said innocently. “Did you just say he is gay?” She asked again. “I see him sometimes, no, almost every time. He is mostly at the Brownson's hotel with the whore men and women on the streets.” He said. “Normally, I always turn a blind eye to things like that, so I don’t get caught
The king was contacted by the ruler of the neighboring country that he wanted to partner with San Marino on a trade that would benefit them both. He wanted them to meet in his country. “I am too old to travel.” The king said. “You can send someone else then.” The other ruler said over the phone. “Probably your son, prince colton.” He further suggested. “Prince colton?!” The king said to himself. “My son is not yet cut out for such responsibilities. He thought. He thought right. Colton had the fainted idea what it meant to do business, let alone international business. “Why don’t I send my soon to be son in law?” the king asked. “He knows his way around business.” He added. “No problem your highness.” The leader said. “I will send the day, date and time to you when I have everything ready.” He added. “No problem, I will be waiting.” The king said before hanging up the phone. “Why don’t you want me to go?” Colton said as he walked in. He was listening to the whole conversation.
